Plextor Stops SCSI
Plextor Europe will stop production and distribution
of SCSI CDRom drives this very year. As reason for this
the company named regressive sales figures as well as
problems in providing components. In the long term this
would also affect the American and Japanese market. One
would want to address the DVD market segement with
devices with USB and Firewire interfaces in the future.

Wordworth Developments
Unfortunately development of Wordworth for the AMIGA has ceased several
time ago. The last version 7 indeed contains many features, but also lacks of things
like for example a JPEG filter. So you have to convert the wanted JPEG graphic
for now into IFF or another format Wordworth supports using a separate program.
Another thing completely missing is PPC (WOS) support.
